I stopped the boat and decided to drift out into the gulf with the shrimp and fan cast a popping cork until I found some fish, then I would spot lock and get after it. I didn’t even sniff a bite on the drift out.
I wanted to come back to this. How deep was it at Red Pass? I forget.
After that, I am wondering if you should’ve HDS’d the middle of it or closer to the shore. For example, you could throw a popping cork all day at The Jump when it’s on fire and never catch a trout (I realize that bait wasn’t popping when I was catching there last year), but if you throw something heavy and get to the bottom you will. BUT in a place like the Jump you aren’t fishing the dead middle of it, but off to the side, as close as within casting distance of the shoreline, not in the 60ft of water, but in something more like 25ft of water. HDS that.
There might be something more to Red Pass. And if they’re happening there at a specific depth, then it’s worth checking Neptune Pass as well.
